The Leather Report

Leather jackets are winter staples for good reason: few other garments are simultaneously so warm, and yet so cool!

Leather jackets are walking out the door at TCB, and fortunately our customers have plenty of choice, from classic bikers and trenches to cropped and hooded styles. One woman was crestfallen when her favourite (and very pricey) leather jacket was stolen. “So, I thought, why not try a consignment store?”

Why not indeed? It’s certainly less expensive and more sustainable than shopping brand new. And you still get to enjoy leather in all its wearable luxe from designers ranging from Helmut Lang and Michael Kors to Massimo Dutti and Husk.

As well as jackets, we have some other great leather garments including jeans (J Brand - $399),

Pants (Manning Cartell - $199),

Skirts (Witchery - $79),

Shirts (RTA - $199)

and even Shorts (Scanlon Theodore - $89)!

And don’t get me started on boots, belts and bags.

But, if you are cut from the same cloth as vegetarian Stella McCartney, who refuses to use leather (or feathers or fur) in her designs, we have lots of faux alternatives, such as this Calvin Klein dress ($49)
